Kemsley

Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of Kent Police beat officers who are dedicated to keeping your community safe. They focus on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour, responding to local concerns, and building strong relationships with residents, community groups and local businesses.

Our officers will:

patrol to deter crime and reassure the public
hold regular engagement activities in the area, including attending community meetings to share advice and listen to concerns
work with partner agencies including councils, schools, charities, and local groups
tackle issues like antisocial behaviour, repeat offending, and vulnerability
build trust by being visible, approachable, and responsive

Neighbourhood policing is a key part of Kent Police’s commitment to being community-focused, visible, and responsive.

Nuisance vehicles. Issued 21 July 2026	Officers have conducted regular patrols, dedicated days of action and joint drive-rounds with local councillors to identify and tackle problem areas. This proactive work has resulted in several vehicle seizures, arrests for associated offences and the development of significant intelligence to support future enforcement.
